Scenerename – Automated TV Show File Renaming

scenerename is a python script which will automatically parse and rename your TV media files. It uses the tvdb_api library to access thetvdb.com’s extensive TV information.

Example (be sure to scroll to the right to see new names):

/mnt/media/.Downloads/Scrubs.S08.720p.HDTV.x264$ ~/scenerename.py

There are a variety of arguments which allow you to control the parsing and output format. Documentation and downloads can be found at Knio’s GitHub project page.
